As of revision 253 there is a new UserDriver for the famous Woltlab Burning Board (Vlite version). This driver allows LCC to use the logins of the users of a WBBlite 1.x
Please feel free to test the latest SVN version and report any bugs.... read more

This relase fixes some bugs and introduces new features.
Most notably, we added a mysql based note- and eventDriver.
There is also a new PEAR::MDB2 based eventDriver that allows to store events in various databases.... read more

Since SVN resvision 240 there is a new PEAR::MDB2 based event driver. Using this driver, you can store events in various databases.
For the cases where no PEAR but a mysql database is available, Greg* is currently developing a mysql based event- and note driver.

All three drivers will be included in the next 0.9.3 beta release, which will be released since the drivers are ready.

Currently we have a new release (0.9.3) approaching.
This release will also be a beta release, because we still have not enough testing reports to be sure we can release a stable version.

We recently got a new developer, greg*. He did some major code submissions, most of them made the code more performant and easier to read and to maintain. However, he also fixed some bugs. Also the french translation, that will be part of the new release, is on his credits, as well as a SQL-based event- and notedriver.... read more

Lightweight Club Calendar is a small web based calendar app intendet for clubs, so they can manage their events and participations. It allows easy integration with other applications and features single-sign-on.

This release features some small bugfixes, most notably a bug at driver loading time that prevented all drivers to load successfully, so 0.9.1 was unusable at the first place.

This release also introduces new translations: spanish, polish and slovenian!... read more

Lightweight Club Calendar is a small web based calendar app intendet for clubs, so they can manage their events and participations. It allows for easy integration with other applications.

This release features some small bugfixes as well as important enhancements.
The most important are:
- PHPBB2 UserDriver: It is now easily possible to use SingleSignOn with PHPBB2 based forums
- Dates and Times are based on timestamps: This allows us to define date and time presentations in the language file
- German translation: LCC is available in german now!... read more

The first release of LCC is out! LCC is a flexible, designable and extensible group calendar php-webapplication developed for clubs. LCC is able to use the usermanagement of nearly every other application (like phpBB) that stores its data in an open format (like MySQL or plain files).

This is the first release of LCC and marked as "beta". Nearly all planned features are implemented and need to be tested now in real-world installations.
I have done my best to ensure LCCs security but i ask for other developers reviewing my code.... read more

I redid some of the core code because i implemented a separate driver for notes.
This enables us now to:
- allow users to add custom fields like in events
- have separate storage places for events and notes

Still missing in the core is support for adding group members for groups one is leader of. However, code that should do this is already introduced; but it needs testing.
As soon as i got time, i will finish this task.... read more

I was able to finish the driver structure the last few days.
The file based EventDriver is now able to store and retrieve data and the core is able to handle the driver.

Currently the following is possible:
- Create Events
- Modify Events

I am working on deletion of events now which is already supported by the file driver but not by the core. The next tasks also include the possibility for users to subscribe to events.
After that, adding notes will be implemented.... read more

I rewrote the EventDriver and UserDriver interfaces.
Both are much simpler and easier to implement now for your own drivers.
Also, the Simple user driver is easier to use now. It will serve an easy method to connect external applications that are not already natively supported through a custom driver.

The next task is to implement all LCC actions to allow users to add/modify/delete events and to subscribe to events.

Unfortunately i had not much time the last few weeks.
I hope that i can resume to this project during March. The enxt plans is a slight change in the drivers interface to be easier to implement. Currently every property (e.g. a time of a event) is stored as a "field" but this may be confusing. I will switch over to only use methods for changing/reading events and user data.

Stay tuned!

As of SVN revision 72 i successfully created some events through the interface using the file eventDriver :)

There is lots of stuff to be done, but i am on a good way!

Unlike i guessed i have done some of the code and have written already a UserDriver (responsible for getting information about users).
However, this is a simple driver who doesn't support groups. He takes a username from a variable which is configurable in the configfile. This way it is already easy to use other applications users. The driver however more as a proof-of-concept and helps me developing the core further, because im now at a point where i need the user objects.... read more

Today it is the start of this project :)
Main intention of this project is not another billing or [music|lanparty|...]-event-management-software but a software, clubs can use to provide a easy tool for their members to manage upcoming events.
Members will be able (depending of rights) to register to events (equal to say "yes, i will take part!")

I decieded to develop this project because i found no calendar applications that are small but extensible and compatible with other applications.
Also, the most other projects rely on a database and are designed to do many many things at once.... read more
